I think I might have spoken too quickly... I didn't have
"livecd/gk_mainargs: --unionfs" in my Catalyst livecd.conf file.

Since I haven't succeeded in unpacking the initramfs I really didn't
know what was in there; I just kind of ass-u-me'd that since the option
was available, genkernel would have the right stuff.  Then I looked in
the runtime image and saw that unionctl is in /usr/sbin there, while
linuxrc was looking for it in /sbin, and leapt to a conclusion :-/.

I'm rebuilding now with the --unionfs option and I'll let you know.
